00:00
I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the
00:11
cost.
00:13
I'm tired of hearing my sister say the same thing over and over.
00:19
You get tired.
00:20
I hear people go, "You work a lot!"
00:22
I have to.
00:24
The math ain't math.
00:26
And when you start working a lot, you have a team.
00:31
Big bills come with what we do.
00:33
We don't do this alone.
00:35
The fact that we're up here, there's a whole entire team behind us.
00:39
They have to get paid.
00:40
So when you hear someone saying, "Oh, such and such made $10 million."
00:44
No, that didn't make it to their account.
00:46
Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%.
00:51
So do the math.
00:53
Now we have $5 million.
00:54
Your team is getting 30% or whatever your team is getting off of what you grossed.
00:59
Not after what Uncle Sam took.
01:01
Now do the math.
01:03
So I'm only human and it seems every time I do something and I break another glass ceiling,
01:12
when it's time to renegotiate, I'm at the bottom again like I never did what I just
01:16
did and I'm just tired.
01:18
I'm tired.
